All-in-one PCs are usually quite light on hardware, sacrificing processing power for a better form factor and accessibility.
Digital Storm has changed the market by creating a new breed of all-in-one PC aimed specifically at high-end gamers and hardware enthusiasts.
The Aura is a unique all-in-one monster gaming PC which features a 34-inch curved LED screen with a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution.
Additionally, the relatively large monitor houses its gaming hardware behind the display, removing the need for a separate PC case.
The motherboard and attached hardware is accessible via the Aura’s back panel.
The Aura packs some heavy hardware and is fully configurable, allowing users the same level of customisation as a regular PC.
Specifications
Digital Storm offers a variety of hardware options for the Aura, which can be configured and purchased from the Digital Storm website.
Below are the specifications for the top-of-the-line Aura configuration, which boasts a 10-core processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
| Digital Storm Aura Ultimate Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Display | 34-inch Curved LED 3,440×1,440 60Hz |
| Processor | Intel Core i7 6950X 10-core 3.0GHz |

The above configuration features the most powerful hardware available for the device, although Aura can be opened up and modified as easily as working on a regular PC inside a case.
Various parts such as the GPU, RAM, and hard drive can be replaced easily, granting the all-in-one PC a fair amount of longevity in a rapidly-evolving gaming hardware market.

Each different custom configuration will have a different price, allowing the user to balance their budget and their hardware needs.
